In the video, he talks about how he first met Paul during the film’s audition process.

When Paul came into audition, I didn’t have cast approval, but I had what they called consultation. I knew Paul was the right guy, and when he finished the audition, I asked if I could excuse myself to go to the bathroom. I ran outside where his car was parked. I said, ‘Hey man, you’re gonna get this job.’

Turns out, Freddie let him know that he was going to get the job and even helped him get a lil’ bump in salary.
